Spring Shutter Card

Today I'm sharing another Shutter Card that uses a bunch of older items from my stash. I am really getting through that Easter stash this year! 

The belly band is decorated with a butterfly that had been cut and assembled years ago. I store them in a binder in baseball card sleeves, and when I flipped through the binder I found both the embossed flower and the butterfly and decided to use them up.  The embossed flower is an old Sizzlet die that both embosses and cuts the flower. I have used that one a lot over the years!

When you open the card the shutters also open to reveal the sentiment and the cute fuzzy chick stickers. Those stickers are by Jolee's Boutique and I've had them for about 5 years. Managed to hoard them for the first couple, because they were just too cute to use. But I finished off the sheet this year!

I did add a scrap of acetate behind the circle opening so it looks more like a camera shutter.

Since there wasn't room inside to sign our names, I added a white panel on the back side that was decorated with stickers. I'm not thrilled with how those look but once they were attached there was no going back. 

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
